Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup powdered sugar (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a standard 10-inch bundt pan generously with butter or non-stick baking spray, and lightly dust it with flour.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients in the order they are listed: softened butter, granulated sugar, eggs, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, buttermilk, and vanilla extract.
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed, blend the ingredients until the batter is smooth and no streaks of flour remain. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Place the bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for 70-75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the thickest part of the cake comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Then carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, dust the top of the cooled cake with powdered sugar before serving.
Slice and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
